Purging Racism

CHICAGO — Mike Royko`s column ``Race has no place in N.Y. accidents`` (Sept. 2) is a remarkable commentary. His condemnation of racism or ignoring racism regardless of its origin is to be commended.

It is hoped that the column will receive wide circulation and will be a beacon for all Americans. Racism and racial theories brought great tragedies on many people.

While racism still exists in many societies and is cause of many disputes, it also should be remembered that because of international anti-Semitism, the United Nations in 1975 adopted the infamous resolution equating Zionism, a most noble liberation movement, with racism. It is time that the United States, as champion of freedom and liberty, takes a leading role in revoking this shameful resolution.
